How it's used
This term is a standard abbreviation used in both professional financial settings and casual conversation. It functions exactly like the full term 人壽保險 but is preferred for brevity when discussing policies or premiums. It is common to hear it paired with verbs like 買 or 供 to describe the act of purchasing or paying for coverage.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 醫療保險, which covers medical expenses rather than providing a death benefit. Learners sometimes mistakenly use 壽險 to refer to general health insurance.
